INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.


REDUCTION MT
Rates
The Interstate Commerce law. which
has been generally discussed in the
papers of the country, and particularly
by railroad men goes into effect next
Tuesday, April jth. The Florida South
ern Railway. in compliance with the law.
will reduce their present rates from Pa
latka to all points on the line of the road
from % to 30 per cent, a fact that local
shippers will greatly appreciate. So far
as local freights along this line is con-
cerned, Palatka will have a great adj
vantage over Jacksonville. For in
stance, in first-class rates, the charges
from Palatka to Leesburg or Tavares
will be IS cents per hundred pounds, and
from Jacksonville, via. Florida Southern
Railway, to the same points, with the
same class of freight, will be- 20 cents per
100 pounds
While this looks very nice for local
shippers, the fact that wholesale dealers
will have to pay greatly increased rates
on all goods will serve to run prices up
To much higher figures. Take the grain
merchants of Florida, for instance, who
get the bulk of their freights from the
West. Hereafter, instead of getting low
through rates on their grain, they
will have to pay the local rates
harged on evevry road over which
their goods may be hauled. While
local rates will be brought down to
basis that will satisfy every one,
the losses sustained by the railroads will
be made up in the through rates.

An Immense Alligator.

Friday afternoon F. F. Rossignall,
captain of the steamer Princess. shot an
immense alligator about 80 miles above
Palatka. and brought it to Palatka Fri
day evening. 1t measured about eleven
feet in length and as broad in proportion.
MIR. III. L. Terrell. of New York, and
party chartered the steamer Princess
about two weeks ago and have been up
the river on a hunting and fishing ex-
cursion- He and his party We're return
ing Friday, when the alligator was
sighted laying up on the bank of the
river summing himself. BY well di-
rected shot from Winchester rifle Mr..
Alligator was laid low. The ball struck
him in the back of the head and came
out of his right ear, thus making death
almost instantaneous. Mr.. Terrell and
party report having splendid time
while on their trip.

Not the Man.

The City Marshal yesterday afternoon
heard that a young colored man who
worked on the steamer Sylvan Glen, had
in his possession some of the fishing
tackle and other articles that We're stolen
from Cochranes book store some few
weeks ago. So when the Glen came in
yesterday evening, our guardian of the
peace marched down and commanded
the young man to bring forth the stolen
property, soaring the fellow almost out
of his wits. He denied any knowledge
of any stolen goods. The Marshal pro
ceeded to- examine his effects and over
hauled all his baggage, but could not
find a single thing that would Indicate
that he had participated in the burglary,
so he had to let him go. much tn the
young fellows relief.

Vale. sylvan Glen.

The Sylvan Glen has made her last
trip for this season on the St. Johns.
Hereafter, instead of threading her way
through the broad expanses or bosky
narrows of the great river of Florida,
she will ply the salt water between New
York City and Oyster Bay. One can
almost imagine the graceful steamer
turning up her nose as she enters the
bay with the gastronomic name and
thinks of the musical appellations she
heard sung out over port or starboard
bow. The hustle of the dirty wharves of
the great metropolis will seem more
grimy after the orange groves. and fish
ing parties are no substitute for the gay
parties of winter tourists. May she re-
turn as bright and swift and easy of
motion as she left us, next season.

CITY NOTES.

The merchants report doing an unusu-
al amount of business yesterday.
The street corners We're crowded to-
day and the general theme Of discussion
was Politics. Everybody seems to be on
the 'qui rire' for the coming election.
Mr.. G. HI. Stafford has an advertise
ment of his real estate agency in another
place in to-day's paper, to which atten-
ton is directed. Read the advertisement,
and il you have business in that line call
ON Mr.. Stafford.
The weather is little peculiar, and
rather cool for April, but we can console
ourselves with the fact that snow is fall
ing over a large territory of country just
north of US. April is usually one of the
prettiest months in Florida.
The tide of travel is turning North
ward, a mistake tourists will realize
when they strike the snow-covered lands
of their homes. Still. the large number
Of people in the State are actively NOV
ing about, and our hotels will likely be
crowded up to the close of the season.
A difficulty occurred on Sauble's
wharf, at Sauble, on Monday, between
Messrs. Geo. Penn and his two sons on
the one side and Henry Gustafson, in
which the latter was used pretty rough

any very serious damage was done.

Burglars are getting pretty bold in Pa

last effort made was to enter Hon. r. w.

thief worked very patiently with his
